作物中4-香豆酸辅酶A连接酶的遗传进化分析

4-香豆酸辅酶A连接酶(4CL)是苯丙烷类代谢途径的关键酶。2014年着重以水稻、大豆、玉米为研究对象,通过收集4CL基因完整的c DNA和编码氨基酸序列的数据,利用Mobyle、EMB0SS、DNAMAN以及MEGA5.0和Clustalx 1.83等生物信息学软件对数据进行分析比较,从而对4 CL基因的遗传进化及密码子使用进行分析总结。本研究构建了4CL的系统发生树,研究基因的密码子偏好性,比对分析酶的保守区,为进一步研究4-香豆酸辅酶A连接酶在农作物中的应用提供理论支持,为研究其次级代谢产物木质素及黄酮类物质的合成、积累和调控奠定基础。     

浅谈猪精液保存在人工授精中的发展与展望

在世界上主要的猪肉生产国中,猪人工授精(AI)技术的应用率在90%以上。尽管猪冷冻精液技术在不断进步,但由于其效率不高,在猪场实际生产中并不多见使用。在猪人工授精技术中,液态精液是目前应用最广泛的精液,与传统的牛冷冻精液不同,其独特的精子微胶囊保护膜技术,可以对猪精子进行更加完善的液态保存,因此液态精液是目前猪人工授精使用的主要方式。文章综述了猪精液保存技术在人工授精中的应用,并展望了今后的发展方向,为人工授精技术助力恢复生猪生产提供参考。     

复盐胁迫下结缕草K~+、Na~+吸收与运输的特点

用2种中性盐(Na Cl和Na2SO4)模拟江苏沿海滩涂土壤盐碱条件,配制不同复盐浓度,对大穗结缕草(Zoysia macrostachya)和中华结缕草(Zoysia sinica)进行30 d复盐胁迫处理,分别测定根和叶中K~+、Na~+含量,探讨复盐胁迫下2种结缕草K~+、Na~+吸收与运输特点。结果表明:随着盐胁迫浓度的增加,2种结缕草根和叶中Na~+的含量逐渐升高,中华结缕草的Na~+含量大于大穗结缕草;2种结缕草根和叶中K~+的含量呈现不同的变化趋势,根中2种结缕草K~+含量先增加后降低,但大穗结缕草K~+含量增加较大,叶中2种结缕草K~+含量总体呈现增加的趋势。2种结缕草根和叶片中K~+/Na~+随盐浓度增加而逐渐降低,但叶片中K~+/Na~+大于根中K~+/Na~+,表明盐胁迫促进了K~+向叶片运输。大穗结缕草的SK,Na逐渐降低,中华结缕草的SK,Na先降低后升高,说明2种结缕草对K~+和Na~+的选择性运输特点不同。     

Effects of Dietary Supplementation of Barodon on Growth Performance,Innate Immunity and Disease Resistance of Juvenile Olive Flounder,Paralichthys olivaceus,Against Streptococcus iniae

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary supplementation of Barodon, an anionic alkali mineral complex, on growth, feed utilization, humoral innate immunity and disease resistance of olive flounder. A basal experimental diet was used as a control and supplemented with 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, or 0.5% Barodon. Triplicate groups of fish (26.4 ± 0.2 g) were fed one of the diets to apparent satiation twice daily for 10 wk. The growth performance was enhanced (P < 0.05) linearly and quadratically in fish fed diets containing Barodon compared with that in fish fed the control. Feed utilization was significantly improved by Barodon supplementation. Serum lysozyme and antiprotease activities were increased quadratically in Barodon fed groups. Also, significantly higher superoxide dismutase activity was found in Barodon‐fed fish. Dietary supplementation of 0.1–0.3% Barodon resulted in significant enhancement of fish disease resistance against Streptococcus iniae. The findings in this study indicate that dietary supplementation of Barodon can enhance growth, feed utilization, innate immunity, and disease resistance of olive flounder and that the optimum level seems to be 0.1% in diets.
